Jack was born March 16, 1922 in Dayton, Ohio and attended the local public schools. After graduating from Stivers he went on to Miami-Jacobs Business College and was employed as a bookkeeper for a small machine shop. Jack was always fascinated by the airplanes that frequently flew over his neighborhood to and from the military airfields Wright and Patterson and the local commercial field. His hobby at an early age was making model planes and even drawing the plans for and making planes that flew. As Jack became a teenager the depression years were in full grip, and an allowance wasn't even thought of or expected. For school lunch money he was given .15 cents per day, which was enough but didn't allow for anything else. So he rode his bike to the nearest golf course about seven miles away and caddied for six summers, starting at .75 cents for eighteen holes and later a nickel per hole which came to .90 cents. In the winter months when he couldn't caddy, he set pins in a bowling alley which paid .04 cents per line. This was hard work for a skinny kid, but often paid a couple dollars per day. Everyone was frugal then- he saved some and was even able to buy some of his own clothes and at least had his own "spending money." Jack liked to tell the true story about a local fellow who had a 1929 Chevy for sale for $7.00 dollars. The car had been sitting in a vacant lot for quite awhile, soaking up the rain and snow and weather in general and didn't look very good but it ran. Jack was about 18 at the time and had no thoughts of buying a car. But he figured it had to be worth $7.00 dollars so he bought it. Then he had to pay $7.50 for license plates. He and his buddies had fun riding around in that old car. When he later bought a 1937 Chevy and the 1929 one was no longer needed he drove it to a junk yard and got $5.00 dollars for it. Jack's neighborhood buddies were gradually leaving for the Service around 1942 and Jack, not wanting to be drafted, decided to take the written test for Aviation Cadet, for pilot training. Thinking he probably would flunk the test, he would probably join the Navy. He wore glasses then, due to his work as a bookkeeper, but left them home when he went to take the test so as not to draw any attention that might lead to not being accepted. He took the written test and passed and was told to come back the next day for the physical. He passed that too and was sworn in to the Army Air Corp October 2, 1942. Four months later he was told to report, went through training and got his wings April 15, 1944. He was then trained as Aircraft Commander of B-24 bombers which operated with a crew of nine. (co-pilot, flight engineer, six gunners and bombardier). They were based near Lecce, Italy and flew 40 bombing missions. The airlines were not hiring pilots after WWll except for their returning employees, so Jack worked in sales for Standard Register Co. for 6 years before being recalled to the Air Force during the Korean War. On discharge in 1953 he applied for an Airline Pilot job, flew for Eastern Air Lines for 28 ½ years, retired at age 60 the compulsory age limit. Jack is survived by his wife Marra, his children Bruce (Julie) and Sandy (Mike), grandchildren Brett, Lauren and Gillian and great-grandson Cooper. He is also survived by many Step-children, Step-grandchildren and Step Great-grandchildren.
